Inclusion of pre-islamic royal rulers
I am expanding this list to include the royal rulers who pre-date the so-called first "modern" state because even List of rulers of Afghanistan does not document the list of non-muslims royal rulers of afghanistan. it is as if Afghans pretend that they never were Hindus and Buddhist and that they did not exist before the medieval islamists invaded and converted their nation by sword. 222.164.212.168 (talk) 04:53, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Afghan Sur Empire and Lodi dynasty
The Afghan Sur Empire and Lodi dynasty must be added to the list. Both founders of the Sur and Lodi dynasties were ethnic Afghan rulers who were also leaders of Afghan tribes. "This article lists the heads of state of Afghanistan since the foundation of the first Afghan state, the Hotak Empire, in 1709." This line of text from the List of heads of state of Afghanistan Wikipedia is misleading because of how the Sur Empire and Lodi dynasty are considered Afghan states that existed before the creation of the Hotak Empire, meaning that the first Afghan state cannot be the Hotak Empire.

Monarchy
should the Emirs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan be considered Monarchs or non-Monarchs? Serafart (talk) (contributions) 05:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

That's actually a good question.JWULTRABLIZZARD (talk) 19:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Head of State vs Head of Government
From what I see is that since the Taliban takeover the role of president is the head of government, while the Emir (Haibatullah Akhundzada) is head of state.

Amrullah Saleh
He should be deleted from this article, as he was never acting president of Afghanistan. The Constitution he claimed such powers under, didn't exist after August 15, 2021 & neither did the presidency 'or' the vice presidencies. GoodDay (talk) 21:40, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

I disagree with this statement. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan de facto held territory in Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul. It continues to be a source of legitimacy for the ongoing Republican Insurgency and it still is the internationally recognised government of Afghanistan. The constitution and the Republic continue to exist to this day as the de jure sovereign state and Amrullah Saleh had the legal basis to declare himself as the caretaker president. He technically continues to be this to this day. I’d add him under Ashraf Ghani and place his presidency to start from the date of declaration. I’d add the word “acting” in brackets though. Ghani should be marked as he is now, but there should be the term “de facto” in brackets, and the “de jure” term should be associated to continue until this day. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the de facto holder of Afghanistan, but because they lack international recognition, it's not the de jure holder of Afghanistan.
